Abiy knows the army, the economy, the country's overall situation, cannot afford a protracted war with a popular guerrilla army, which is what would happen if he were to occupy tigray again... they withdrew because they had to, their popularity was gone and the tigrayan masses went to the forests and mountain to join the resistance... Abiy may have made some huge mistakes, but he's smarter than Mengistu, who foolishly fought to the point that his army was demoralized, literally soldiers were being captured by tplf/eprdf, then sent back home, then the army would conscript them again, send them to fight tplf/eprdf, they'd get captured, and then sent back again; Lol subhanAllaah.
TPLF will stretch itself thin by trying to advance too far outside of its base, but they are so desperate and have little choice, they are claiming to be under siege, which if true, means they'll fight like a cornered dog. So, this is gonna be a wild one indeed. Abiy's govt didn't give them much choice, and this is coming from a dude who ain't a fan of either side.
